About
Join Semir Beyaz, PhD as he discusses the effects of dietary fat on the intestinal epithelium, immune cells, and the gut microbiome.

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic that correlates with increased cancer incidence and immune dysfunction in several tissues such as intestine. There are several life style factors that contribute to risk of obesity and cancer including pro-obesity diets such as high fat diets. In this webinar, we present data from our project, with the overarching goal to systematically evaluate the consequences of diverse dietary fat on the phenotypic and functional status of intestinal epithelial cells, microbiome and immune cells.

Key Topics:

  • The cellular effects of dietary fat and high-fat diets

  • The role of intestinal epithelial and immune cells

  • How dietary perturbations impact immunity against cancer

Semir Beyaz, PhD
Assistant Professor, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Semir Beyaz is an Assistant Professor at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) in New York. He received his B.S. degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics at Izmir Institute of Technology in Turkey in 2009. After working at the Bone Marrow Transplantation Center at Massachusetts General Hospital between 2009-2010, he joined Harvard University, Immunology PhD program. There, he worked at Boston Children’s Hospital on the epigenetic regulation of blood cell development and also at the Koch Institute of Massachusetts Institute of Technology on dietary regulation of intestinal stem cell function and tumorigenesis. After receiving his PhD from Harvard with best thesis award in 2017, he established his research laboratory at CSHL. His lab is focusing on how dietary and metabolic perturbations affect the interactions between microbes, epithelial cells and immune cells and influence tissue regeneration, cancer and immunity.
